Unidentified Monitor Upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10

[dougw4]

I realise that there is more than one way to fix unidentified monitor problems when installing Ubuntu, but this xorg.conf file is what worked for me. It's based on the failsafe version of xorg.conf. It's short and simple. So it should be easy to modify for other monitors.


# xorg.conf
# This works for me in Ubuntu 10.10.
